  • The truth about owning a 392 engine I wish I knew.
    The 392 is a great engine producing 485hp / 475 tq, unfortunately due to the weak pistons in it building it up can often be seen as not worth the investment since Hellcat prices have dropped. In this video I explain my perspective on why its smarter to avoid modding the 392 and voiding warranty and instead upgrading to the hellcat which has the better drivetrain components to handle the additional power.

    The smoke generated at startup was more than likely caused by you racing the engine at shut down. The oil pressure pushes the oil up into the heads and drains down onto the cylinders. When you turned it off, this leaves the valves open for oil to drain down onto the cylinders. Hope this explains your scare.

    • @moparsrt1905
      @moparsrt1905 9 місяців тому +3

      That makes no sense. The only way for the oil to drain through the valves into the cylinder is through bad valve seals or through the intake manifold. The heads drain oil back into the block.

    Most likely from not having an oil catch can. The oil build up in the intake manifold can do that. If you get an oil catch can and the problem still persists after a month or so, then you have a bigger problem. Bad valve guides/seals.

    Found this on the challenger forum replied by an SRT Engineer. A decent explanation. I've had this once or twice on my 2016 Scat 392 not a daily driver. I've done 3 cold starts a month apart since I stored it for the winter with no issues.
    Here it is: New engines take some time for the piston rings (sometimes seals as well) to break in. As ring tensions have reduced and bore finishes have improved (read smoother) the rings will take longer to seal to the mating surface. In some rare cases, if an engine is run very hard right out of the chute you will get some glazing between the bores and rings which will cause an even longer (or potentially never) break in period. Normal conditions will break in and seal up well within several thousand miles. Make a few hard runs with the car after break in will ususally accelerate the sealing. Some light smoke from the exhaust on start ups (usually cold or warm after sitting for a time) is not an issue. If the smoke is heavy or continuous during driving there may be a mechanical problem, take into the dealer.

    Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but did you conduct the break in process as directed by the manufacturer? If not then the proper seating of the rings might be the cause of the blow by.

    The oil smoke comes from built up oil in the head. I used to own a brand new 2014 Challenger SRT8 6 sp. manual. I'm very keen on how the engine runs. At first my car was running hot, sluggish, and sucked gas until I got on the highway. So, I found out about the "Oil Catch Can" that's made for Mopars to "catch" the extra oil before it ends up in the head. It costs $66 and is very easy to install by hand. I had to dump it about every 5,000 miles or every oil change. I also installed a K&N cold air intake at the same time. Man, it made the biggest difference!! The engine ran sharp, cool, and clean after that, no matter how little I drove it. And no more oil smoke! 👍

When you’re buying a car to “mod” looking at hp/$, don’t start with a car that makes around 500hp! Because making north of 500hp and making it reliable isn’t cheap. If it were, you’d see 500+hp cars at every stop light😏

  • @badfatboy1
    @badfatboy1 4 роки тому +2

    That smoke at startup was just a little 'oil blowby' and is normal with large block hemis. The best cure is to get an oil catch can so instead of the oil going back through the intake via the breather, the catch can puts the oil back into the engine rather than the intake. You will notice that without a catch can you will loose a few 10's of a quart over time because it gets burned off through ignition. Just make sure to top her off every six months or so...

    I currently own a 14 charger 392. And honestly i bought it bc its a family/muscle car. Yes i knew it'll never be as fast as most pound for pound bc of the weight and its inability to be boosted safely (not saying it can't be, just 6.4 arent as good as the 6.2 boosted). Anyways i put down 498hp and 471tq to the wheels with minor bolt ons and cam upgrade. Its being built now with forged internals and E85 then 175 shot spray. The amount of money i spent i could have had a LS swapped 900hp plus car, but i love my car and im comited now in it. Bottom line, it all depends on your preferences and budget. My car puts down now 543hp 497tq NA with E85 and 683/671 on 175 shot. Mods are:
    Oil catch can
    JBA LT w/cat delete
    JLT CAI
    Apache max cam (No2 grind)
    Red eye lifters
    Demon injectors
    Forged pushrods
    Mahle pistons and rods
    ARP rod bolts/head studs
    465 warblo fuel pump
    Ported TB & Intake manifold
    Nitrious outlet 175 wet ket
    Paramount 3200 stall
    Custom Hp dyno tune
    BC coilovers
    Do i regret the amount of money i spent on it knowing i could have something faster or better? No, i love my car bc i put my time and money in it. It's like raising a kid. #builtnotbought

    What type oil are you using? Also replace one quart for Lucas hi performance synthetic oil stabilizer. Cold start smoking blue, definitely preworn piston oil rings, preworn valve seals would smoke blue(burned oil) like most of the time. Not even catch cans can catch that. All they do is keep Intake manifold ports clean, sensors and accurate fuel ratio. Even polluted oil can trick the engine computer and trigger a check engine light.

    Last time I had smoke like that coming from the exhaust it was a leak in the head gaskets. Check the seals and see if they just need replaced by chance. Also yours could be a slow leak which is why you didn’t see it in the fuel station. Possibly just leave the car sitting for an hour or so and just check how long it takes for the smoke to reappear on start up and see if the amount increases overtime. From the looks it’s probably just a small leak that built up over night.

      I would have to agree. The original machine had a base plate of prefabulated amulite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two main spurving bearings were in a direct line with the panametric fan. The latter consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marzlevanes, so fitted to the ambifacient lunar waneshaft that side fumbling was effectively prevented. The main winding was of the normal lotus-o-deltoid type placed in panendermic semi-boloid slots in the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a nonreversible tremmie pipe to the differential girdlespring on the "up" end of the grammeters.
